The National Navy and industry technicians, the General Directorate of Arms and the Commission on Atomic Energy and Atomic Alternatives were aware of whether it was better to bet on a conventional propulsion carrier or to decide on a nuclear carrier, much more expensive... strategic, technical, operational and economic factors were taken into account and the decision should have been taken last June. But the economic and social situation advised that the decision be delayed until less than a week ago. With the arrival of the new year, preliminary design studies of the PANG will begin, which will be extended for 24 months.
